on his snap downs. He likes to work from space, tap the head, and go for that low ankle shot. It's effective, but he can get sloppy with it as the match wears on ... reaching too much and getting off balance. I think if he would tie up more and apply pressure to the neck/head of his opponent, he can be more effective snapping the head down (or a throw by) rather that simply tapping the forehead. With his length, he could still keep his hips back in a tie up.

This is a big part of the next step forward for Sasso. He's got the length -- goodbadugly Jun 25, 2026 at 04:19 PM ET

We'll see. Haught is a heavy hands guy and it didn't rub off on Sonny too -- HokieToph Jun 25, 2026 at 04:32 PM ET

Move his feet to generate angles for his shots. He got in at will at ACCs.** -- Hokiemacho Jun 25, 2026 at 12:40 PM ET

This. When he moves his feet he wins. ** -- donjfs3 Jun 25, 2026 at 01:50 PM ET
